THE CARBON CHRONICLE, 


for Christmas 


If your family likes

one plan that may help you in 
using the Christmas turkey to

take time out to remove the stuff- Combine all ingredients lightly

help both the stuffing and the tur- 
key. Put the stuffing in a covered 
container to keep it moist and 
store both it and the turkey in the 
refrigerator. To conserve space 
and to keep the turkey from dry- 
ing out you may strip the meat 


from the bones and package it in 
waxed paper or foil. You'll likely

and then pour on plenty of steam-

One of the most appealing ways

PM endorses 
safe driving 
campaign 


“There can be no greater work 
than that designed to save lives, 
prevent injury and reduce dam- 
age to property,” claims Prime 
Minister Diefenbaker in express- 
ing his support of Canada’s na- 


tional Safe-Driving Week. The 
Prime Minister calls on every 
Canadian citizen to regard this 


work as his personal responsibil- 
ity. 

Safe-Driving Week, December 1 
to 7, is being sponsored by the 
Canadian Highway Safety Confer- 
ence. 

“Since traffic is rated only be- 
low cancer and heart disease as a 
killer of Canadians, every action 
that might reduce this hazard to 
tour national life and economy 
must be strongly encouraged,” 
Mr. Diefenbaker said.

Cash advances for grain 


shows faith in 


Agriculture has been under- 
going a revolution. Fundamental 
reforms are necessary, The time 
is long past due for the farmer to 
get a fair share of the national 
income. The Progressive Conserv- 
ative party pledged fundamental 
reform. But before anything real- 
ly constructive can be done cash 
advances for farm-stored grain 
are needed to restore self-respect 
in those- who till the soil. The 
Progressive Conservatives promis- 
ed this. Before the week is out 
cash advances will become a real- 
ity. 

Thus spoke Hon, Alvin Hamil- 
ton, ‘minister of northern affairs 
and national resources, at a P.C. 
nominating convention in Corona- 
tion Hall Tuesday night. 

It was necessary to review for 
the members of the House of 
Commons the background of what 
has been happening to agriculture 
for the past 20 years so they could 
understand the dire need of the 
farmer. This he did and when this 
was explained most members were 
surprised that the government 
only advocated a loan of $186,- 
000,000 for the farmers, interest 
free; most members fully expect- 
ed this to be an outright gift to 
help make up their losses. 


After the war when the price 
controls were removed from goods 
affecting all the rest of the people 
of Canada, the western grain 
farmers were asked to subsidize 
every consumer of grain in this 
country at the price of 7744 cents 
a bushel long after the controls 
were taken off. That amount of 
7714 cents a bushel can be under- 
stood only when you realize that 
across the line our neighbors in 
the United States at one time 
were receiving as high as $3,50 
a bushel for wheat of inferior 
quality, That was the sacrifice the 
people in Canada asked Western 
Canada to make. We made that 
sacrifice gladly during the war, 
with no questions asked, but there 
Was an understanding given by 
the government of this country 
during the war that when the 
days of conflict were over we 
would be given a hand in our diffi- 
culties, *both on the question of 
development and on the question 
oof grain prices. Cash advances 
meet not all the problems of the 
farmers but it does answer one 
need, and one that farmers have 
felt deeply about the last seven 
years. 

Furthermore, following the war, 
the people of Western Canada 
were asked to go into a gigantic 
gamble on their product: western 
farmers were asked to go into the 
British wheat agreement where 
we voluntarily accepted a lower 
price than the world price on the 
pledge made by members of par- 
liament that when that agree- 
ment was over we would then re- 
ceive a higher price than the 
world price, whatever that might 
be. That gamble cost the western 
farmers 600 million. The good peo- 
ple of Canada supported the gov- 
ernment of that day in providing 
us with a partial recompense to 
the tune of $65 million, We appre- 
ciate that 10 percent return on 
the losses that we took, This gam- 
ble was taken with the support of 
the government of that day and 
one of the opposition parties, 
namely the CCF, and that gamble 
failed, 

Today we know in Western 
Canada and all through Canada 
that there has been a great revo- 
lution going on in agriculture. We 
know that fundamental reforms 
are necessary. The fundamental 
purpose to which we must set our 
hands is to give to agriculture a 
fair share of the national income. 
Under this government we pledge 

urselves to the fundamental re- 
orm, But in the meantime, it is 
necessary for us to see that the 
machinery of marketing which we 
have works‘a little bit better. That 
is the reason for this cash ad- 
vance legislation, 

What then was the need for this 
legislation? Since it does not meet 
all the fundamental needs of ag- 
riculture, why was it brought into 
being? The answer is this very 
simple fact. Not only do 200,000 
farmers need cash at the usual 
time of year when they pay their 
bills but there are several thou- 
sand merchants in Western Can- 
ada who cannot operate’ much 
longer on their credit until this 
system comes into effect, 

In the year 1951-52—that is the 
crop year—in the months of Au- 
gust to November, the farmers of 
Western Canada received $305 
millien in wheat board payments, 


farmers 


which include the initial payment 
and subsequent payments, In the 
year 1952-53 they received $381 
million in this four-month period. 
In the year 1953-1954 they receiv- 
ed $328 million, During these three 
years an average of $338 million 
went into circulation in Western 
Canada. - 

Now those were fairly good 
years for crop production in West- 
ern Canada but this represents 
the type of ‘thing that was going 
on, Listen to these figures; in the 
year 1954 to 1955 the -figure had 
dropped to $159 million; in 1955 
to 1956 it was $119 milion; in 
1956 to 1957, $183 million; and 
this year it was estimated at $147 
million, or an average for the last 
four crop years in Western Can- 
ada of $152 million. This amount 
of money was going into circula- 
tion in a four-month period to 
meet bills that ordinarily amount 
to well over $338 million, the av- 
erage in the three years 1951-54. 

The difference between the av- 
erage in the three years I first 
quoted and the four years I have 
just mentioned is $186 million a 
year. In other words there is $186 
million short in these four months 
an amount usually used by the 
farmer to pay his bills. 


There are 62 milliori acres in 
Western Canada called specified 
acres. If you multiply that 62 
million by the figure of six you 
get a figure of 372 million bush- 
els which is the number of bush- 
els that Would be the highest level 
on which you could expect to ad- 
vance cash; that is to say 372 
million bushels at 50 cents which 
comes out to $186 million. So that 
the highest possible figure for the 
advance is $186 million which is 
almost identical with the differ- 
ence between the amount of 
money that used to go into circu- 
lation in the first three years 
quoted from 1951 to 1954, and the 
last four years. This is an effort 
to meet and fill the gap where 
there is a real economic need on 
the part of the farmer, the busi- 
ness man and the people of Can- 
ada, 

“If we had tried to evolve an 
advance system based on all the 
technicalities involved and _ to 
meet every loophole of which the 
dishonest person might try to 
take advantage, we would not 
have a cash advance bill brought 
in for another year,’ Mr. Hamil- 
ton said. “We produced a simple 
bill, using the same system the 
farmer has always used and we 
have enough security there to 
protect any average creditor, be- 
cause those of us who live here 
know the significance of the per- 
mit book. The only may you can 
beat this legislation is to quit 
farming because then you will not 
have a permit book.” 

Mr. Hamilton pointed to the 
fact that there are 230,000 farm- 
ers in the four western provinces 
who hold permit books, Of these 
31,000 have less than 100 speci- 
fied acres, 63,000 have between 
100 and 199, 52,000 between 200 
and 299. In other words two- 
thirds of the farmers in Western 
Canada have less than 300 speci- 
fied acres, 

These are certainly not the 
farmers who plant their crop in 
the spring and sit in a hammock 
until harvest after Which they

Plebiscite on 3 


sewage lagoon? 


Whether council will decide to 
proceed with the borrowing of 
$300,000 to finance construction of 
the scheduled sewage lagoon on 
authority of the Local Government 
Board, or take the matter to bur- 
guesses in a plebiscite will be 
made known after the City 
Fathers receive a report and 
recommendation from the Finance 
Committee, 

Council learned Monday night 
that its application for the floating 
of the debenture issue has been ap- 
proved by the board, but, follow- 
ing council procedure, the matter 
was referred to the Finance Com- 
mittee which will make an in- 
vestigation and report back at a 
future meeting, recommending 
action, 

It has been known for some 
time that the city’s present sew- 
age disposal plafit in inadequate 
and that construction of a lagoon 
is more satisfactory and economir 
cal than adding-another unit to the 
present plant; and council has 
been contemplating proceeding 
with the lagoon on 1958's works

GREY CUP MISSES—Miss Grey Cup (Europe) and her maids of honors helped dress up the Euro-

an annual event which includes all the usual trimmings of the East-West contest at home. In Europe 
this year the West not only won 54-0 but also took Miss Grey Cilp honors in the person of pretty Cor- 
poral Joyce Schmidt of Vancouver, B.C., who is fifth from left in this lineup of contestants. The girls,

Then Mr. Hamilton went into 
detail on just what cash advanees 
mean to the farmer. On the basis 
of No. 1 northern wheat, the 
farmer on 50 specified acres re- 
ceives 70 percent of the total in- 
itial price and that works out at 
86 cents a bushel. The farmer on 
100 acres receives 60.3 percent of 
the total initial price possible to 
him, which works out at 74 cents 
a bushel. And as one goes down 
the list, on 200 acres the percent- 
age is still 52 percent and the 
price is 65 cents. When one reach- 
es the largest classification of all, 
1,000 acres, one finds that the per- 
centage of the total initial price 
has declined to 43, and the aver- 
age amount of cash per bushel 
available is 53 cents. 

In the case of No. 4 northern 
@ man with 50 specified acres re- 
ceives 73 percent of his initial 
price; the percentage is higher, 
On 100 acres, 64; on 200, 56, and 
so on, 

Mr. Hamilton went on to tell 
how the opposition, and Rt. Hon. 
Jas. G. Gardiner, former minister 
of agriculture, in particular, had 
spoken against cash advances. 
Mr, Gardiner said the Western 
Canadian farmer would prefer the 
Liberal system of bank loans on 
which they must pay interest to 
cash advances on which they pay 
no interest. How silly could he 
get? 

When the government consider- 
ed the matter of cash advances 
they were warned by the “ex- 
perts’—the same people who had 
advised the Liberals—that cash 
advances just couldn't work. The 
Liberals took their advice, The 
Diefenbaker party didn’t. They 
worked out a very simple system 
that demonstrates the Progres- 
sive Conservatives have faith in 
the farmers and Mr, Hamilton is 
satisfied that trust will not be pe- 
trayed. All that is necessary to 
pet cash advances is to produce 
the permit book and make a sta- 
tutory declaration. Provisions are 
made for abuse of this privilege 
but they expect very little trouble 
here. 

Mr. Hamilton said that # is his 
firm conviction that the govern- 
ment recognizes ‘that in every part 
of Canada many segments of our 
population have begun to receive 
less than their fair share of what 
the national income of Canada 
should provide for them, The gov- 
ernment recognizes that justice 
should provide not only for those 
groups which have fallen behind 
but also for those areas that are 
lagging. Through its action in in- 
troducing cash advances and the 
other measures presented to the 
house this sesslon—and in future 
sessions — he believes that the 
Canadian people will recognize 
that what they have promised to 
do they will do. He is sure this 
has given the Canadian people a 
great lift in spirit and has remov- 
ed the skepticism of the thirties 
because now they see in power a 
party that will earnestly strive to 
live up to the promises it has 
made.—-The Enterprise, Yorkton,

Out on a limb 


By Stumpy McCulloch 

Ol’ Zeke was never one to waste 
words. When he wandered into 
the woods one day and didn’t go 
home for supper, his grandson 
went down to fetch him. The lad | 
found Zeke standin’ in a clump of 
bushes. “Ginnin’ dark, Grandpap” 
the boy said. “Yep.”’ “Comin’ 
home, then?’ “Nope.” “Why not?” 
“Cain’'t.” “Why can’t 
“Standin’ in a bear trap!” 

Most fellers who grow timber 
on their wood lots figure it’s 
cheaper to cut it themselves than 
sell it to an outside operator. For 
one thing, you can cut wood any 
time you want to—stich as during 
the slack season. Besides, most 
fellers are more careful if they're 
cutting their own trees. They'll 
want to get the timber out of the 
woods without damaging their 
younger trees, and that’s mighty 
important. ‘Cause good forest 
management depends on repeated 
cutting, year after year! 

Here’s a surprising fact. A fire 
in Northern Wisconsin in early 
October, 1871, killed 1,200 people 
but hardly anybody heard about 
it! Know why? ’'Cause on that 
same night, October 8th, Mrs. 
O’Learly’s cow knocked over the 
lantern and set fire to Chicago. 
And although the Wisconsin fire 
killed four times as many people, 
it was overlooked in the excite- 
ment, 

Fire can be mighty dangerous 
for a Tree Farm too. I find it’s 
well worth the time and trouble 
to build fire lanes through my 
woods, and to keep the grass fires 
away. 

Well, sir, I guess you've heard 
what happened to Ol’ Lem. He 
stayed on the farm while his boy

PIRITUAL 
TRENGTH 


FOR 


PRAY FOR OUR YOUTH 
Though the press is wisely re- 


fraining from publicizing the mis- | 


behaviour of youth groups, a deep 
concern prevails, Our teenagers 
Were born in a period of war. 
Many fathers were at war and 
many mothers worked long hours 
in factories. If there is an unusual 
restlessness among youth, one of 
the reasons is obvious, 

In 1 Samuel, chapter 3, we 
have two sharply contrasting pic- 
tures of young people. Judgment 
Was pronounced on the house of 
Eli, the priest, ‘because his sons 
made themselves vile, and he re- 
Strained them not.” Alas, how 
many parents are guilty at this 
point. The unbiblical psychology 
of “Let the child freely express 
himself,” has proved the ruination 
of many children and the frustra- 
tion and sorrow of many parents, 

Samuel, on the other hand, grew 
up in the house of the Lord and 
learned to be promptly obedient 
to his superiors. His mother, a 
woman of prayer, had promised 
him to the Lord before his birth. 
She kept her vow. But though 
Samuel was such a good boy there 
needed to come the occasion when 
he would come to know God as a 
person. ‘‘Now Samuel did not yet 
know the Lord, neither was the 
word of the Lord yet revealed 
unto him,” This chapter tells of 
God's personal revelation to Sam- 
uel. When God called, Samuel 
said, “Speak; for thy servant 
heareth.” 

Every youth needs a_ personal 
encounter with God. Then life 
takes on a deep meaning and 
achieves a moving purpose. When 
a youth surrenders to Jesus Christ 
he not only finds peace for his 
own soul but he develops a burn- 
ing desire to share that peace 
with others. This calls for all his 
enthusiasm, his intelligence and 
his strength. The Word of God, 
the Bible, will be his guidebook. 
It will be his daily counsel. 

Let us not be glib in our criti- 
cism of youth, Have we as par- 
ents done our part? Are we dem- 
onstrating in our homes the gift 
of which Jesus spoke, “I am come 
that they might have life, and 
that they might have it more 
abundantly.” (John 10:10). If not, 
then we ought to first pray for 
ourselves. Then we will be able 
to help our youth, 


Increase in grain 
movement foreseen 


Confidence that shipments of 
Canadian grain will increase next 
spring was expressed by S§. F. 
Dingle, CNR vice-president, oper- 
ation, when he spoke recently at 
Edmonton, 

Mr, Dingle—on a western line 
inspection tour—said in an inter- 
view that while passenger traffic 
is holding up well there has been 
a falling off in the volume of 
freight traffic, due in part to de- 
creased grain shipments. 

“I believe we shall see heavier 
grain shipments in the new year, 
however,” he added, 

Impressed with Edmonton's 
ateady growth, Mr. Dingle said 
that the CNR's policy is to keep 
pace with the city’s expansion,

DEAR FRIENDS: 


In April last spring (1957) during National Wild Life 
Week which was created by an Act of the Canadian 
Parliament as a living memorial to the late Jack Miner 
a prominent Catholic layman of Western Ontario stood 
‘by the grave of the late Jack Miner and in his address to 
his fellowmen said: “Here lies the body ofthe man who 
was Canada’s greatest Christian.” 

During the same week in the City of Sarnia an Angli- 
can preacher addressing a Boy Scout rally in memory of 
Jack Miner said: "On November 3, 1944, the day Jack 
Miner died, he walked from his home to the Post Office 
which was one block away and met five different men 
all of whom he did not know and each man stopped him 
and expressed his regret of Jack Miner's passing whom 
they referred to as ‘Canada’s greatest Naturalist and one 
of the world’s great citizens.’ ’’ All Canada mourned his 
passing. 

The Hon. John Diefenbaker, recently elected Prime 
Minister of Canada, in paying his respect and tribute to 
the late Jack Miner at the time of his death, said: “Jack 
Miner's career has been one of great service to mankind. 
Personally, I will always regard the three hours spent in 
his company as the outstanding ones in my life.” 

Bishop J. W. Smith said: “Jack Miner used the birds 
of God to send the Word of God to the children of God 
everywhere.’ Another Bishop in 1949, speaking of Jack 
Miner, said: “Jack Miner’s bands with a verse of Scripture 
on them were doing more actual missionary work than 
all the paid missionaries in Canada.’’ What the Bishop 
meant is the Jack Miner conservation program to save 
birds from the hunters’ gun in the south and to care for 
and fatten up 25,000 or 50,000 Canada geese and send 
them north for the Eskimos and Indians was food for their 
body and soul. 


A little half-breed Indian whose mother was an Eskimo 
wrote Jack Miner's sons from Hudson's Bay within the 
Arctic Circle and said: “My daddy and grandfather shot 
21 Canada Geese with your bands on their legs. You are 
a very precious person for all of us because you preserve 
the life of the wild geese we need for food.” 

We do not recall the above facts to further eulogize 
Jack Miner’s name. The Jack Miner Foundation is not an 
organization to perpetuate his name because during his 
lifetime he had carved his name so deeply in the hall of 
fame for his love of God, birds and his fellowmen that 
no one can erase it. We only mention the above facts 
to say how important it is that this great Christian, con- 
servation, scientific work started by Jack Miner be car- 
ried on for future generations, 

Here at the Jack Miner Sanctuary the public sees wild 
life in its natural haunts and environment. Here children 
can come and go and see the wild life in its habitat. . 
The bird-lover is wholly sold on the Jack Miner program 
of Conservation because it gives the non-shooter first 
chance to see the birds living in safety, 


The hunter realizes the place has both directly and 
indirectly been saving a nest egg supply of ducks and 
geese and other wild life to go north to nest and repro- 
duce and not only this generation but generations to come 
will not have to go to a museum and see a dead stuffed 
specimen but will be able to look up in God's heavens 
and see them flying over as one bird-lover said: “When 
I look up in the skies and see a flock of geese heading 
southward in the fall or northward in the spring I say 
‘Thanks be to Jack Miner and his Conservation program.” 

As a missionary project some people give and 
bequeath thousands of dollars to carry on a missionary 
project they had never seen but here is a chance to see 
the geese that visit the Jack Miner Sanctuary deliver a 
verse of Scripture to the Eskimos in the north and to 


~»the hunters in the south. 

It costs the Directors of The Jack Miner Foundation 
nearly $30,000 annually to carry on the pregram started 
by Jack Miner at the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary located 
at Kingsville, Ontario, Canada. This will reach hunters 
who have paid that much for a hunting and shooting pro- 
gram. What will you give the Jack Miner Conservation 
program to conserve for your children's childien? 

Several non-shooters give and have rightly given mil- 
lions to endow a museum of stone and mortar where 
only dead mounted specimens can be seen in glass cages. 
What will you give to this Jack Miner Institution so your 
children can see bird life alive? 

We need several thousand dollars at this time to meet 
the expenses. We welcome $1.00 or $1,000,000. 

Please send your contribution for this maintenance 
expense at this time to:

Save the Birds 


By D. D. Lockhart, B.Sc.F, 

In these troublesome days of world unrest, when men 
and states growl and thunder at each other, it is refresh- 
ing to recall the name and works of that beloved 
naturalist, the late Jack Miner. Much has been written 
concerning this man, and it is doubtful if there is a school 
child who has not heard of his acts of humility and kind- 
ness, done with never a thought of self aggrandizement. 
His whole life was spent in the service of the birds and 
the beasts. As a living testimonial to his service it is 
only necessary to visit his modest Kingsville, Ontario, 
home in the fall and to watch the regular southerly migra- 
tion of thousands of Canada Geese. As a result of the 
establishment of a sanctuary, a haven of rest was created 
for the migrating birds. Undoubtedly the birds learned of 
this refuge and in some wonderful manner transmitted this 
information from one to another, with the result that the 
migratory population increases year by year. 

During his lifetime, Jack Miner financed his sanctu- 
ary by means of lecture tours through the United States 
and Canada. Some years before his death he created the 
Jack Miner Foundation—a non-profit, non-salaried organi- 
zation to which he gave his wordly goods. Since his death 
in 1944 the Foundation has carried on with Government 
grants and donations from his many friends interested in 
the welfare of the wild creatures. However, in order to 
guarantee that adequate funds are available to carry on 
his work, and also to enable the Foundation to purchase 
neighboring lands an Endowment Fund has been estab- 
lished. We understand that contribution to this most 
worthwhile fund have not been great, and we think it a

A CHRISTMAS PRESENT 
PROBLEM SOLVED 


The same problems confront us Christmas after Christmas, 
The selection of Christmas gifts becomes more difficult as 
prices continue to increase, 


Owing to the relatively low overhead costs of the photo- 


graphic department at Prairie Publishers and the precision of 
modern camera manufacturers, one of the finest, low priced 
cameras on the market today is being sold at a price within 


the reach of all, 
The camera is described elsewhere in this paper, Those 
ordering before Christmas will receive, Free of Charge, one

HIGHWAY SIGNS NOT 


MEANT FOR TARGET PRACTICE 


An appeal to the public to re- 
frain from using highway signs 
for target practice was issued by 
L. T. Holmes, deputy minister of 
the Saskatchewan Department of 
Highways and Transportation. ~ 

“Each year we find it necessary 
to replace a large number of 
highway signs at considerable ex- 
pense because persons have shot 
them up,” said Mr. Holmes. “The 
fall of the year is the worst time 
and from this we conclude that 
some hunters or ‘sportsmen’ are 
not satisfied to shoot at game 
only, 

“Our records show that over 
the years we have replaced more 
signs southeast of Regina on 
highway No, 33 and south of Re- 
gina Beach on highway No, 54, 
than anywhere else in the prov- 
ince. Most vandalism at these lo- 
cations takes place during the 
summer when young people wan- 
der along roadways, throwing 
stones at signs or tearing them 
down. However, when hunting 
season opens, the sign damage 
spreads over all of the province 
and the culprits are more method- 
ical, employing firearms. 

“The cost of replacing ruined 
signs is considerable. In addition 
a great deal of inconveniece is 
caused the travelling public when 
destination signs are removed. 
The practice is also very danger- 
ous, in that bullets meant for 
signs may well find their way to 
Pasting motorists, especially if a

special effort to do so,” Mr. 


Holmes concluded.

Insulin diet 
. 

and exercise 

The Canadian Diabetic Associa- 
tion announces Diabetes Week in 
Canada, November 14th to 21st 
marks the week 35 years ago 
When Banting and Best's discov- 
ery of insulin was first made pub- 
lic at a small medical meeting in 
Toronto. Banting was then only 
|30, and Best was 22. This discov- 
ery led in a few short months to 
the development of insulin on a 
large scale which made it possible 
to save the lives of thousands of 
diabetics. Awards and distinctiohs 
came to the two young discover- 
ers from every part of the globe. 
Patients flocked into Toronto for 
treatment. This discovery placed 
Toronto on the map as a first rate 
medical centre, a position which 
it has held since that time. 

Today new drugs have been dis- 
covered, but nothing can take the 
place of insulin, diet and exercise. 
These principles of self discipline, 
50 easy to state, and so difficult 
to carry into every day life, are 
the reason for The Canadian Dia- 
betic Association. This year every 
diabetic in Canada 


b is urged to 
register with the Association. 
Much yaluable information and 


many services are made available 
through the Association, Every 
drug store in Canada has ayail- 
able literature which will be of 
interest and assistance to dia- 
| betics. ’ 

Children particularly, should be 
known to the Association because 
developments of particular inter- 
est and important research on 
their behalf is being carried out 
at present. Camps for children 
were conducted at six centres this 
year in Canada. The Association 
is remarkable in that it makes 
no public appeal for funds. The 
activities are conducted entirely 
by voluntary contributions from 
members, friends, and from cer- 
tain corporations with a particu- 
lar interest in this group of peo- 
ple.

DECEMBER 1, 

Good morning, neighbors: 
| No doubt you are being remind- 
‘ed that Christmas is just around 
}the corner—about which the Vir- 
| den Enmpire-Advance, Man., com- 
ments: Christmas is a joyful time, 
a time for remembering others, a 
time for giving, a time of good 
will and warm affection and gen- 
erosity. But Christmas need not 
be a time of financial headaches. 
For many the radiance of Christ- 
mas is lot as budgets are strained 
and bills pile up. Others manage 
better. They shop early and choose 
thoughtful gifts well within their 
means, believing that it is not the 
value of the gift but the affection 
that goes with it that counts. Per- 
haps in this year of grace, 1957, 
it would be wise for all of us to 
try to capture more of the real 
meaning of Christmas, the cele- 
bration of the birth of Christ. 

Speaking of religious matters, 
the Swan River Star, Man., tells 
us that last Sunday night, Mr. 
Coulthart of. the Kenville district 
dreamed that the Sunday collec- 
tion was left in the church. His 
dream was so real, that on Mon- 
day morning he went to see, and 
sure enough the collection was 
still there. 

And still there 
mentioned 


is a neighbor 
in another Manitoba 
paper—the Birtle Eye-Witness 
which states: “Our sincerest con- 
gratulations to our old friend Hay 
Gillespie of Russell, on being re- 
elected president of the Russell 
| Game and Fish Association for 
the 14th time. Far too few people 
|realize the tremendous amount of 
| work that Hay has devoted to con- 
servation over these many years, 
On accepting the presidency at 
the annual meeting, Hay quipped 
“What this Association needs is 
a good Past President!” 

Judy wants to call it a day on 
Kittens. The Brooks Bulletin an- 
nounces: Last week we carried an 
item about Judy Bacon, whose pet 
kitten was missing following Hal- 
lowe’en, Within a couple of days 
following. the article, Judy not 
only. got her own little kitten 
back, but had the offer of 25 other 
kittens too! Like we've always 
said, it certainly pays to adver- 
tise in The Bulletin, 

In the same paper, the Brooks 
Bulletin, we read that Henry 
Downey of Youngstown shot a 
rabbit which had a $20 bill in its 
mouth, apparently dropped by an- 
other hunter and picked up by the 
rabbit. 


Another unusual find—inside a 


MOON-GLOW—A drift of chif- 
fon and a rustle of taffeta com- 
bine to achieve this enchanting 
dress, perfect for the Yuletide 
festivities in glowing holly red, 
The taffeta, woven from Chemcell

embroidered in lead motif. The 
halter neckline falls into a wide 
cumberland of red chiffon. A tiny 
bow, tied at the back of the neck- 
line, falls in streamers to the hem- 
line. Available in the merriest 
shades for Christmastime, the 
glowing taffeta refuses to wrinkle 
and drapes in lavish folds.

A CBC program aired every Sunday morning 


At 10:00 Central Time 
PREPARED BY C. F. GREENE 


7.|fowl this time—is reported by the} 
Hanna Herald, Alta., 
ments: If Mrs. O. Lemke of 
Acadia Valley ran short of sealer 
rings during the fall canning, she 
wouldn't have “had a clue” where 
some of them were, until she 
started to prepare one of her 
chickens recently. On opening the 
bird, Mrs. Lemke found no less 
than six sealer rings. 

A feathered-friend news 
appears in the North Battleford 
News-Optimist, Sask., which tells 
us that Earl Nutbrown of May- 
mont has a Crow that he raised 
from babyhood this past spring. 
The crow, “Blackie”, is very much 
King of the farmyard, or perhaps 
we should say Queen. Anyway 
time will give the answer to that 
question! Blackie lives with the 
chickens and has learned to cackle 
exactly like a hen. On the other 
hand, from being with the terrier, 
it will bark and yip like a dog. 
Often it has been the cause of 
someone going outside to see what 
was around, only to find the crow 
standing on the road. 

Mrs. Brown will probably be in- 
terested in this school-teacher 
news item in the Maidstone Mir- 
rer, Sask, W. J. Davidchuk, who 
teaches school in Hafford, is tak- 
ing evening classes again this 
winter at the University of Sask- 
atchewan; this is his eighth win- 
ter attending these classes. When 
the weather is good, Mr. David- 
chuk drives across country roads, 
and highways, a distance of 70 
miles. When- it snows he “just 
goes around by North Battleford” 
which means a 150 mile drive each 
way for the two-hour lecture he 
attends, 

From travelling to sliding, we 
turn to the High River Times, 
Alta., which tells us that Mrs. 
Hugh Eaglesham, who is building 
up quite a reputation as a bird- 
watcher, noticed. eight or nine 
sparrows indulging in some odd 
antics last week. Mrs. Eaglesham 
and the children happened to be 
waiting in the car at the George 
Noble farm, when one of the 
youngsters spied a plump spar- 
row sliding down the steep-sloped 
tin roof of an out-building on his 
feet. The experience apparently 
proved enjoyable and the rest of 
the birds joined in the sport— 
sliding down to the edge of the 
roof, and flying back up to the top 
of the roof to repeat the perform- 
ance! 

Repeating vows (perhaps silent- 
ly) which they made to each other 
many, many years ago, are these 
two couples celebrating note- 
worthy wedding anniversares: Mr, 
and Mrs. Dmitro Serafin of Vita, 
Man., their 60th—and Mr. and 
Mrs, Harry Underhill of Under- 
hill, Man., their 65th wedding an- 
niversary. 

Hearty congratulations to you 
long-wedded couples — and con- 
gratulations also to these good 
neighbors celebrating ninety-or- 
over birthday anniversaries. Mrs. 
Annie Bruce of Carman, Man.— 
George Gilbert of Pilot Mound,

Boy Scout canvass

The Melfort Boy Scouts Asso-

génerous response by the citizens 
of the Town to their canvass, con- 
ducted recently. 

The objective was nearly 
reached, and.this will ensure that 
necessary expense will be met, 

It was pleasing to the commit- 
tee that so many parents of cubs 
and scouts assisted in the can- 
vass and also that so many busi- 
nessmen co-operated in the pub- 
licizing of the drive.

one and all for their help,-The

he “skunked” his partner, Charlie 
McKean. 

Speaking of the famous Sput- 
nik and Muttnik, the McCreary 
Times, Man., states: Last week, 
while folk were gazing heaven- 
ward with hopes of catching 
glimpses of Muttnik, one of the 
nurses at the hospital was sure it 
had returned to earth when she 
woke to find a small dog in her 
bedroom. It appeared that in order 
to escape the chill of the night air, 
he had crawled through the open 
bedroom window and was prepar- 
ed to stay for the night. He was 
identified in the morning and was 
returned to his home on the other 
side of town, 

Staying on his job for a long 
time has been this neighbor men- 
tioned in the Lloydminster Times, 
which notes that “Pop” Ellis has 
just received a golden anniversary 
certificate from the Canadian 
Pharmaceutical Association, Tor- 
onto. The certificate reads, 
“Awarded to Hugh Allison Ellis 
in recognition of 50 years of ser- 
vice in the active practice of 
pharmacy, presented on the occa- 
sion of the observance of the 
Fiftieth Anniversary of the. Can- 
adian Pharmaceutical Association 
Inc. It is interesting to note, how- 
ever, that last February, “Pop” 
completed 65 years of service as 
a pharmacist. 

And—‘to complete the news”— 
here are two squibs. The Wadena 
News, Sask., reports this school 
story from the Invermay district. 
Mrs. Ferrie, the teacher, said to 
her class: “If these are seven 
flies on your desk and you kill one, 
how many will remain?” One pu- 
pil immediately replied: ‘One, 
teacher—the dead one.” 

And the other squib concerns 
Highway Safety. One of our pa- 
pers comments: The number of 
automobiles is increasing by leaps 
and bounds... and pedestrians 
are surviving in the same way. 

Good morning, neighbors, and 
keep smiling.

Safe Christmas 
driving 


The’ drinking Christmas-time 
driver is one of the major threats 
to road safety, according to the 
All Canada Insurance Federation. 

Officials of the federation, which 
represents more than 200 fire, 
automobile and casualty insur- 
ance companies in Canada, said 
drinking and driving was a major 
cause of accidents year-round, but 
particularly during the Christmas 
season. They pointed out that the 
effect of liquor varies so greatly 
from person to person that it is 
impossible to measure the amount 
of liquor which can be taken be- 
fore driving becomes impaired. 

Urging motorists and _ pedes- 
trians to be ultra-cautious during 
the holiday, safety experts rec- 
ommend the following precau- 
tions: 

@ Don't drive if you plan to 
drink; use a bus or taxi. 

@ Non-drinking drivers should 
take extra precautions against 
mistakes made by drinking 
drivers. 

@ Never ride with a driver who 
has been drinking. 

@ The traditional “one for the 
road” should be coffee if you 
are driving; although coffee 
will not sober an intoxicated 
driver; it has a steadying ef- 


fect on social drinkers, and 
helps prevent fatigue and 
drowsiness, 


@ Remember that 50 percent of 
all accidents are caused by 
speeding. 

Keep windshields free from ice 
and snow. 

Never drive with fogged head- 
lights, } 

@ Keep the number of passen- 
gers in the car at a minimum; 
crowded cars are hazardous. 

@ Never drive too close to the 
car in front. — The Times,

Dear Bonnie: 

Requests for information con- 
tinue to come in and in the past 
few weeks, there 
eral conferences — Adjudicators, 
Regional and Saskatchewan High 
School Drama_ Association. In 
every case, one or more persons, 
when these articles were mention- 
ed, spoke up and said they had 
read them or a friend had recom- 
mended them, In two cases, where 
the people in cities do not get this 
type of weekly newspaper service, 


they inquired where they could 
get them. I was happy to say 
|‘Canadian Weekly Features, 1410 


Scarth St., Regina’. Ido hope many 
people read them and profit by 
them. One teacher is clipping 
them and pasting in a scrapbook 
for future reference, 

Last week, I talked about Act- 
ing. I wish to remind both you 
and your cast that they must not 
be impatient if they do not get 
results right away. It takes a 
long time to develop an actor or 
build a play. 

There are many skills and tech- 
niques to learn and then by ex- 
perimenting, grow proficient in 
their use. After a time of con- 
sistent practising, their use every 
day becomes automatic and one 
forgets they ever had to learn 
them. So many points can be util- 
ized in every day living. This is 
perhaps the most important rea- 
son for everyone to try a bit of 
acting sometimes during their 
lives, and the earlier the better. 
This learning makes better em- 
ployers and employees, Thus bet- 
ter citizens n a democratic coun- 
try. ‘ 

For instance —people learn to 
speak more, carefully and more 
audibly, their posture improves, 
co-operation with others is prac- 
tised, better public relations are 
increased, team work becomes an 
important factor, tensions are re- 
laxed as actors work and laugh 
together, direction and criticism 
is taken graciously, better yng- 
lish becomes a necessity. After 
three months rehearsals, these 
and many other things become a 
matter of habit to the participant. 

I realize that you know many 
of the above-mentioned facts, but 
thought it wise to recall them to 
your mind, or if new to you, they 
will give you something to con- 
sider and put into practise. 

You should be into scene re- 
hearsals by this time. Do your 
actors realize they cannot be told 
‘how’ to act? That the body must 
be under control all the time — 
‘mind over matter’. Are your ac- 
tors giving all the time? Are they 
aware of everything around them 
listening with ears, pores of their 
body, even soles of their feet? Do 
they now realize that character is 
the result of action? Are they 
showing that they have determin- 
ed relationship with the other 
characters in the play? Will the 
audience know by little manner- 
isms that they are brother and 
sister, husband and wife, old 
friends or strangers? Have they 
made their characters as interest- 
ing as possible? Can they be 
heard outside the walls of the re- 
hearsal room? Are they beginning 
each speech with attack, Remind 
them that people come to hear the 
play as well-as to see it and audi- 
ence’s like their money’s worth, 

Have they decided what impres- 
sion each actor is expected to 
make? A friend of mine in a re- 
cent play, had a very small part 
and said “Yes, Madam” six times. 
She wanted to give it up. I re- 
minded her that more individual 
acting awards in festival have 


gone to small parts than to large | 


ones, I afivised her to develop the 
character skilfully, play it skil- 
fully, by telling the audience what 
kind of a mistress she was—what 
she knew about her that the audi- 
ence had not been told, Small 
parts belong in a play and like a 
watch, it wouldn’t run without 
them. My friend went about her 
business and did a fine job the 
night of the show and received 
many compliments she had earn- 
ed by her interpretation. 

She also learned to develop a 
triple personality, “Three eyes” 
she laughingly stated, One eye 
she kept on herself, one eye on 
the character and the third eye on 
the audience. She learned to use 
many tones in a lower and higher 
vocal range and color each speech 
with the right emotion, Also to 
sit in one hundred different ways, 
while she was learning to sit down 
and curtsey graciously for her 
several entrances, how to go up 
and down stairs with her eye level

not on the steps as she had/| 
always done before. She practised | 
this at home when going up and! 
down to the basement a 


dozen 
times a day. She found it was 
just like learning French. It took 


time and practise, but was worth- 
while. 

| Movement in the play 

| There must be motivation for 
; all movement. It must be justified 
and completed, The style of move-| 
ment will be according to the cos- | 
tume, period, physical limitations, | 
pace of scene and other things. 
Mechanics should only be used 
after a foundation to support 
them has been established, Some | 
are traditional and they are as 
follows: 1. Actors usually keep 
the body at a 45 degree angle to 
the audience, and use the neck to 
turn the head as required, 2, Make 
turns toward the audience unless 
told to do otherwise for some spe- 
cific reason, 3. Always start to 
move with the foot nearest the 
backstage. This may require a 
change of weight to start. 4. Al- 
ways enter the stage with the 
upstage foot—cross a threshold of 
a doorway with upstage foot if it 
is a strong entrance or exit de- 
sired—for a weak or foolish en- 
trance or exit, reverse it. 5. The 
actor who enters last, speaks first 
and vice versa. Authors do not 
state this, but it brings the actors 
well into the acting area. 6. Two 
actors seldom move in the same 
direction at the same speed at the 
same time. 7, Kneel on the down- 
stage knee. 8. Never move with- 
out a reason evident to the audi- 
ence, 9, Nearly always move on a 
stressed beat. 10. Try to break up 
an exit speech to keep the audi- 
ence’s interest in you until you 
leave. 11, Rise fast from a seat 
on comedy lines, more slowly on 
dramatic lines. 12. Think about 
changes of level. 

Sitting—if ne person is sitting 
on a chair, another may sit on a 
hassock, a stool, arm of a chester- 
field or on the floor. 


Standing—lean on the back of 
a chair, the table, bookcase, the 
mantle, but never support your- 
self on objects unless you are that 
kind of character. 

13. Difficult scenes should be 
rehearsed privately and in great 
detail, then fitted into play to pre- 
vent too mifch loss of time for 
other members of the cast. (a) 
Love—if standing, start at a dis- 
tance and work up to it, Thus 
the embrace at the end isn’t long 
|or embarrassing. Watch foot and 
| body positions carefully. (b) Ar- 
guments—should be started as far 
apart as possible then as the argu- 
ment grows, approach and retreat 
until there is some settlement. 
(c) Eating meals—watch the cor- 
rect use of knife and fork, use in 
rehearsal until handling becomes 


easy. Learn to swallow food or 
drink at the same place in the 
same line every rehearsal for 


sake of good timing. Crumbs of- 
ten cause choking at the wrong 
moment and can cause laughter 
| where it is not desired. (d) Vio- 
lence should be covered by a piece 
of furniture or by people. This is 
much easier than actually plan- 
ning and working out the correct 
execution of every detail. This in- 
cludes—Fight or combat scenes: 
cover or shield dead bodies. Par- 
tially hide the body whenever pos- 
sible with furniture, If this is not 
possible cover with blanket or 
coat, 

(e) Learn how to fall. Relaxing 
the body joint by joint. Try it 
out on a bed and then transfer to 
rehearsal on a rug. In this way, 
you will not, be bruised or any 
bones broken during the learning 
process, 

14, Gestures usually proceed the 
spoken line, using the upstage 
hand except for such gestures as | 
using a gun, saluting or any set 
type of hand movement, Wrist 
leads in gestures, (eyes follow 
the fingertips). Be sure each ges- | 
ture is completed. Enlarge all ges- 
tures so they will carry to the 
back of the hall, Incidentally, only 
a vulgar person points to himself 
on the pronoun ‘I’, 

15, Actors must learn to project 
their voices by training them- 
Selves not just to listen to what| 
they say but to hear it, When a 
scene is to be played in brief 
darkness, more projection is need- 


ed but voice quality must be 
maintained, 

In repeating lines, try to 
change the stress—I love you—I 


love you-—-I love you—depending 
on the meaning intended, Fluffed | 
}lines may ruin the whole scene. | 
But if a line is fluffed, go on, don’t!

| CHRISTMAS 


DECORATING 


A trip through town last night, 
up the streets and down the 
avenues, revealed two things, as 
home decorations and 
adornments Tor the Christmas 
Season are*concerned, First of all 
it was quickly noted that much 
decorating has been done 
this year than last, at least there 
are a lot more colored lights to 
be seen, Secondly, it became evi- 


| dent that there is still a long way 


to go before the town as a whole 
can be considered really well- 
decorated, ; 

The general impression in many 
areas iS a very colorful one 
though, and it is a real pleasure 
to drive around and view the va- 
rious sights. There are many 
strings of colored lights on houses, 


|; trees and bushes. Here and there 


are to be seen attractively flood- 
lit Santas or Manger Scenes, It 
seems to add something to the 
Christmas Spirit in the air that 
is becoming more evident with the 
passing of each day, 

The Chamber of Commerce is 
to be commended for its ambitions 
to foster and encourage this type 
of decorating as it certainly tends 
to make for a pretty and attrac- 
tive town at this time of year. 
Officials of the organization might 
do well to consider, however, for 
future reference, that their efforts 
would likely be rewarded with 
more satisfactory results if more 
members of the sponsoring organ- 
ization set a better example. - 
The Times, Morden, Man. 


EARLY TREATMENT 

In tuberculosis, as in most dis- 
eases, the earlier a case is found 
and treatment started, the bet- 
ter the outcome igs likely to be. 
If disease is slight when discov- 
ered and treated the time taken 
for recovery is generally shorter 
and the danger of relapse is great- 
ly reduced. 


stop and drop out of character, 
Phrasing,is to bring out the key 
words. Look for the thought in 
each line, then say it but do not 
stop until something has been 
said, 

Keep the voice up at a comma. 
Always imply answers for most 
speeches. Read a line DOWN for 
great finality, great decision or at 
the end» of a scene. Watch words 
or important parts of words be- 
ginning or ending with plosives— 
B, D, T, K, G, P, and articulate 
them carefully. 

If swearing is 


required, learn 


| to answer like a gentleman with- 


out punching them. Just slide 
over bad words, 

Until experience is gained, us- 
ually walk and then talk, or talk 


and then walk, depending on the 
type of scene. As rehearsals pro- 
gress, this will be speeded up. 
Next week, I shall discuss more 
on posture, gestures, masking and 
focussing attention, Until then— 
Sincerely yours,

GATEWAY BARLEY 

Gateway barley has been 
found not acceptable for malt- 
ing purposes in Canada. At 
least, Canada Malting Comp- 
any, the country’s largest mal- 
tster, has indicated it is not 
prepared to accept Gateway. 
This was made known in a let- 
ter to all grain handling organ- 
izations, which stated. ‘‘After 
three years of testing, inelud- 
ing two years of plant scale 
testing, it has been determined 
that the extreect in Gateway 
barley is much lower than Olli 
In view of this we are 
forced to refuse to accept Gat- 
eway barley for malting purpo- 
ses. In the meantime we must 
recognize Olli barley as the 
most suitable malting variety 
grown in the province of Al- 
berta.”

Due to the fact that no de-e-

might be interested in the act-

as follows:

sed the Convention a few 
hours after the vote was made 
pw lic. 


‘2. He was presen: for a ques-

followed. ‘ 
3. Irregularities in the elect- 
ion cf the vote were general in 
a great many areas of this 
province. 
4. The F.U.A. Convention with 
a majority of at Ieast 500 to 1 
asked the Provincial Govern-
